How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I do craft sales and for years had the square magnetic reader that fit my phone. Lastly it wasn't working and I had to manually enter cards (which costs more to do) and with the Holiday Season upon us I needed an easier way to accept credit cards. With most cards having the chip I decided to get this chip reader. It paid for itself on the first sale I did. I have recommended it to others who have run sales I have attended since my purchasing it.

Great way to take CCs
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is an awesome product. We had an estate sale for a family member and were told that CCs were a must. We have spotty cell coverage at the location, so I was a bit hesitant. However, this CC reader worked like a charm!! Processed over $15k in CC payments over a 3 day period and never had a blip. Used the strip reader maybe once or twice. Not sure this would be necessary. Great product!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5You have no idea how much this has saved me. This items allows me to ring up items via BT, and allows more of my customers to use Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay. No more having to whip out the card reader to plug into your phone. I only wish they made the USB-C version.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIf a card has no chip are able to swipe?
Asked by Josh.
- A:Answer Yes, as per Square's website, if a card is not chip enabled, you can swipe the card with the mag stripe reader that is included in the box. Furthermore, you are protected as long as you are swiping a card without a chip, whereas, if you swiped a card that IS chip enabled, you would be liable.

Q: QuestionCan you have the mag stripe reader plugged in when using the chip reader? Just so you don't have to keep plugging in and out?
Asked by ahurt.
- A:Answer Yes you can. We use this for craft fairs and shows and it will take input from either reader. The chip reader is connected by bluetooth so they can both be connected at the same time.

Q: QuestionCan the chip card reader be charged by using an adapter plugged in to household current that provides a USB outlet port ?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes - the reader comes with a charging cable that will plug into USB port on computer, AC powered USB power source, or external phone battery charger. We have had the reader run for at least a full day of pretty constant use on one charge.
